AP-640

Build and expand your sign and graphics business with a wide range of applications, low running-costs, and the quick drying benefits of Roland DG's first resin printer.

Enter the TrueVIS AP-640 that’s redefining resin printing with high color saturation on a wide range of materials from uncoated PVC to non-PVC media. It features new TrueVIS resin ink and advanced machine features to optimize color reproduction on vinyl, paper, film, and specially formulated fabrics — expanding your graphics to include flags, roll-up screens, textiles, wallpapers, and so much more.

What Makes the TrueVIS AP-640 Resin Printer so Amazing?

Variable Dot Printing


TrueVIS resin printers benefit from hundreds of dedicated, media-specific printing profiles that control optimal ink volume and drying temperature. An optimizer prepares the media surface facilitating the formation of precise dots while variable dot control technology fires three types of ink droplets to create unparalleled image quality, producing natural beauty and vividness never before seen in a resin ink printer.

Dual Staggered Printheads for Resin Inks


Printheads are arranged in a dual, staggered formation with an optimizer printhead that preps the media surface for the CMYK printhead. This enables ink droplets to form a finer dot, resulting in more precise color and images.


TrueVIS Resin Ink

The highly concentrated color pigmentation of TrueVIS Resin Ink enables heavier color saturation than conventional resin inks and printers for optimum graphic impact on paper, fabric, canvas, wallpaper, non-PVC materials, and other media.

Safety Comes Standard

With very low VOC emissions, Roland DG resin inks are ideal for interior applications where safety and compliance are the highest priority.

True Rich Color

The True Rich Color preset takes full advantage of the high color saturation of new TrueVIS Ink to maximize print vibrancy and ensure neutral greys, smooth gradations, and natural skin tones.

Touch-Panel Operation


A 7-inch, full-color touch panel with intuitive settings and functions makes print operations simple. Clearly defined icons for set-up, maintenance, print volume, consumables, print status, and more allow for a convenient, streamlined workflow.

High-Productivity Dryer Unit


Newly designed drying unit allows prints to dry quickly and completely before proceeding to the next process, saving hours of production time.

Automatic Gap Adjustment


Media gap and feed compensation can now be adjusted automatically with a single button. The AP uses optical registration technology to ensure print accuracy and avoid variations in output.

Included Take-Up Unit


An adjustable take-up provides print stability for a wide variety of popular media. It also allows easy installation of a loading platform for clean, efficient media collection.
